When are you going to make that Draplin family crest?" He challenged me and I just stopped and thought, "I don't know why I haven't made it. I saw my cousin Brian who was always great to me and I haven't seen him in so long and I get to see him and the first thing he says, "Hey, you're a graphic designer. I still miss him viciously and yet at that funeral you get to see all these people who you haven't seen in a long time. I went home to his funeral and you're upside down. When your dad dies, it just turns everything upside down and you get freaky, you get weird and whatever. It's just a big illusion, okay? I mean who the fuck really knows what's going on 100 million miles away as much as 100 miles away, right? No one knows, okay. We're all going to die, okay? As it says in the big old Flaming Lips song, the sun rises and sun sets. I hope I was cool about it and if I didn't write back about it well, I apologize. Project Background: So, a big part of why we're here is when, sadly, and I know everyone's read these stuff. All right everybody, let's get to work.Ģ.
LOGO DESIGN FORM HOW TO
But along the way, there should be some tips and tricks, and little how to use, of this how to work quick, how to work fast, and how to work smart. Sometimes it's spectrum color, sometimes it's weird subdued stuff, sometimes it's real earthy, it's the spirit of the project that guided it. What's right for your family? Here's 666 logos I made, of every shape and size and wherever, and lots of different color. Three, and a little bit of typography with family memo, what's that right typeface, and what's that right feel, what's right hierarchy, and that little sort of set of parameters you built, how's that shit fit in there properly. Number two, get into sketching and drawing, and then build some shapes in Illustrator, or wherever you're going to draw that stuff. Getting on the old web, or dig into some books, or maybe even going outside and go and junk in research and stuff. There is a lot we're going to pack in this 45-50 minutes. Try and do something that you're close to, have a good time with, and that's what we're dealing with.
I celebrate all the weird shit my dad said. For this project, instead of making some logo for a band that's going to die in six months, because the band breaks up, we are going to make it for one of the greatest bands or brands ever. But that's, where it came from, and now, it's like a real thing kind of, but not every logo, everything that you make and generate on your computer, is to be serious for a grade, or for a paycheck, or for cloud, it can just be for fun. It's like, at all times making fun of yourself, like talking in plural speaking, it's just stupid. There's something fun about that because, if the work is cool, it'll look bigger, than what I am. I call myself the graphic design company because it just seemed to make sense, and it's just me, for the graphic design company. I wasn't down with that, I like the grid, I like this idea of order and hierarchy, and stuff, and everyone's name of their company then was something like, it was predictable, and it's a reference were to say. When I went to art school in '98, you know what was cool, remember? Like you puke on a page, it kind of settles into a corner, and you flatten it, and it's post-modern graphic arts. Thank you for coming and being a part of this. I'm a graphic designer here in Portland Oregon, at Field Notes, Northwest headquarters, of course.
